Not just the commissioning, but the wording of questions has not been released publicly. Plus there were reports of a poll being conducted without party names listed (only candidates) at the same time, that was attributed to Galaxy.
I have no idea what Bandt's current PV is because there have only been internal polls, nothing public. The Labor one said he was on 33.9 and the Green one 48. The former seems more consistent with the general decline in the Green vote but it's always possible Bandt is punching above that.zoidlord@851

Possibly derived from the Greens' dodgy Galaxy. There might be other evidence out there though.lefty e@848

Cud chewer, I heard that Bandts PV was getting large of late, but it was second hand and I really couldn’t vouch for the info.

If Oakeshott and Windsor were still contenders i'd agree, but with them out of it, i'm not so sure. I think when the history of this parliament gets written they will get a lot of the credit, along with Gillard, for making the hung parliament work, as it did very well.

But of course since electoral pragmatics rule out preferencing the LNP anyway, we needn't go into it.There’s a very good case that if Labor has principles it would go near the LNP with a barge pole Mick.
